Presentation Those representing the applicants were as follows: Mr. Jean Parranto, realtor representing the Suburban National Bank, Mr. Chuck Walhberg, architect i Mr. Bob Burrow, architect, Mr. David Sherran, officer with the Suburban National Bank. Mr. Jean Parranto explained to the Planning Commission some of the details of the proposed bank. He indicated that it would be located on the northeast corner of County Road B-2 and Fairview Avenue. The variances requested are for a 100 foot setback in a shopping center zone and a 40 foot setback of green area in a shopping center zone if adjacent to a re- sidential area. Mr. Wahlberg explained the features of the bank as far as traffic movement and building design. Traffic would enter the bank off of County Road B-2 and the exits would be either from Fairview Avenue or B-2. Those using the drive-in tellers would exit on to Fairview Avenue at the northern edge of the property. Mr. David Sherran felt that the bank would be an asset to the Village of Roseville and would be a most desirable type of facility for the residents to the north. Discussion An explanation was given concerning the variances requested by the applicant and the setbacks that are required under a shopping center zone. The variances to the zoning ordinances re- quested are as follows: Front yard (west side) 30 feet, north side 10 feet, south side 25 feet. Mr. William Gale, l812 W. Bruce, asked what had happened to the 100 foot setback required under the shopping center zone and that it looked like to him that it had been reduced to about 20 feet. He also felt that the green area which is suppose to be 40 feet under a shopping center zone should be maintained by the bank. Mr. Richard Lappi, l763 Bruce, \'lanted to know if the Planning Commission recommended this particular development that it would encourage more of this development on B-2. He also felt that a screen was needed to shield the automobile headlights coming into the bank. Mr. Wahlberg indicated that the bank intended to erect a cedar post retaining wall on the north side of the property. Mr. Eagles of the Planning Commission requested to know if the bank could be moved further to the south to grant more of the required 40 feet green area.
